This year we will continue our study of Living the Questions, with a seven week discussion group in the fall and another seven weeks in the spring. Come to one or all sessions! Everyone is welcome! (Barbara Turner, facilitator)<br> Sept. 22 - Nov. 11 &nbsp;(no meeting Nov. 4): &nbsp;Living the Questions: a DVD with interviews, sermons and commentary by over 20 modern theologians on such questions as "How can a good God allow suffering?" and &nbsp;"The Myth of Redemptive Violence".<em></em><em></em> </big></p> <p><big> <strong>Discussion and Prayer Group: </strong>Sundays at noon in the Library <br> September: PICA discussion and information<em></em><em></em><em></em><em></em><br> Each hour ends with lifting up those in our church family in need of prayer. </big></p> <p><big><strong>Lectionary Bible Study:</strong> Monday evenings at 5:30 (Library) <br> This hour is based on the gospel reading for each coming Sunday as set out in the Revised Common Lectionary. We read the passage from a minimum of four different translations and primarily use the following discussion questions: <br> What word or phrase catches your attention? <br> What is the message of the passage? <br> How does the message intersect with your life? <br> What is God asking us to do? </big></p> <p><big><strong>Worship Re-told! </strong> Mondays at 3:30 pm at Dirigo Pines in "The Pub" on the 2nd floor! All are invited who wish to come! The hour+ is spent relaxing in front of the fire and discussing the scripture and sermon from the day before with those who were there and those who were unable to come. Our Dirigo Pines members want all to know that they are welcome on any/all Mondays! </big></p> <p><big><strong>Book Group: </strong> 7:00 pm on the 1st Friday of the month in The Gathering Place <br> Each month the group chooses a book to read and discuss. The time together is often quite lively! Books read over the past year include <em>The Kite Runner, Blink, Confucius Lives Next Door, The Solace of Leaving Early, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,</em> and <em>The Secret Life of Bees.</em> </big></p> <p><big><strong>Movie Night:</strong> 6:30 pm on the last Friday of each month in the MacKenzie Room <br> Come and enjoy an evening of pizza, movie, and discussion (hmm...witty banter?!). Movies are chosen for their philosophical content or thought-provoking context, and lively dialog follows each viewing!&nbsp;<em></em><em></em> </big></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <!-- INNER TABLE NOW CLOSED---><!-- -- THIS ADDRESS TABLE SITS UNDER THE INNER TABLE --> <table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="800"> <tbody> <tr> <!---old bgcolor is ffff33---><td align="center" bgcolor="#cccc99" height="30"> <b><font color="#000099">Church of Universal Fellowship - 82 Main Street, Orono ME 04473<br> Office Phone: 1.207.866-3655 - Office email:<a href="mailto:office@churchofuniversalfellowship.org">cuf82@verizon.net</a></font></b> <a href="mailto:office@churchofuniversalfellowship.org"> </a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <!-- -- ADDRESS TABLE IS NOW CLOSED--> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <!-----BACKGROUND COLOR CONTROL TABLE IS NOW CLOSED----><!-- -- NEXT LINE CLOSES THE WHOLE-PAGE OUTER TABLE -- --></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body></html>
